"In ancient times, women would worship peach blossom tree and make offerings to the tree's spirit to be blessed with a child. However, the spirit of tree is a malevolent one." Shen Zi Yu told Yi Sun. 
"It always takes back what is promised to it even when the pact-maker is gone"

A spirit of the tree blesses a lady of Jiang family with a healthy male child. However, a pact is made, and after Yi Sun's mother who died tried protecting her son, it will take back what rightfully belongs to it. The one who's born out of the promise must return the debt as it will take back its lover back to death.

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
